Description
Summary:The AlOx 1–3 (Ox = oxalate) species were identified in 0.6 M aqueous NaCl by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Rate constants and activation parameters for intramolecular cis/ trans isomerization of the Werner-type AlOx 2 − complex (k(298 K) = 5 s −1, ΔH # = 67 ± 5 kJ mol −1, ΔS # = −6 ± 6 J mol −1 K −1, the rate determining step could be the breaking of the Al–O(C=O) bond) and a very slow intermolecular ligand exchange reaction of AlOx 3 3− complex and the free ligand ( k 30(298 K) = 6.6 · 10 −5 s −1, ΔH # = 164 ± 17 kJ mol −1, ΔS # = 225 ± 51 J mol −1 K −1, D/I d mechanism) were determined by dynamic 1D and 2D 13C NMR measurements. Mixed complexes, AlFOx, AlFOx 2 2–, AlF 2Ox −, and AlF 2Ox 2 3–, with overall stability (logβ) of 11.53 ± 0.03, 15.67 ± 0.03, 15.74 ± 0.02, and 19.10 ± 0.04 were measured by potentiometry using pH- and fluoride-selective electrodes and confirmed by 13C and 19F NMR. The role of these complexes in gibbsite dissolution was modeled. The mixed Al(III)-Ox 2–-F − complexes have to be considered as the chemical speciation of Al(III) in natural waters is discussed.
